Grokking the System Design Interview, Volume II

"Grokking the System Design Interview: Volume 2" is the definitive sequel to the world’s best-selling system design course, built specifically for engineers ready to level up to Senior and Staff level interviews. While Volume 1 gave you the vocabulary of system design, Volume 2 gives you the fluency. In this course, we will dissect the industry's most challenging distributed system problems, teaching you not just how to connect components, but how to architect for 99.999% availability, massive scale, and operational resilience. Top-tier companies don't just want to see if you can draw boxes on a whiteboard; they want to see if you can anticipate failure and defend your decisions. This course mimics the rigor of a real-world design review, challenging you to solve open-ended problems like the Distributed Notification Service and the Flash Sale System. Whether you are aiming for a promotion or preparing for the toughest interview of your career, Volume 2 provides the deep, defensible strategies you need to stop guessing what the interviewer wants and start leading the conversation with authority.
